Active clinical trials for "Anxiety Disorders"

This study is exploring an animated learning resource that could be used online to promote mental health. It is computer based and delivered in a single session, lasting 30 minutes. It teaches young people about thoughts, feelings, personality and the brain, it includes ideas about "mindsets" - or beliefs about the brain - which may be helpful in day-to-day life. The investigators will use social media to recruit 14-18-year-olds to take part in our research. They will be randomly put into one of two groups - either a group who receive the online session first or a group who receive the session later (at the end of the study). The animated learning resource aims to promote and protect mental health. The investigators predict it might have some benefits for emotional wellbeing, though the investigators do not know for certain. Young people who take part might learn something new or find it rewarding to know they have been part of research which could be used to help promote mental health. It is important to know that this is a research study and not a form of treatment for mental health problems.

The purpose of this study is to expand Adhere.ly- a simple, HIPAA-compliant, web-based platform to help therapists engage clients in practicing therapeutic skills between sessions (homework) during mental health treatment by conducting a trial comparing standard therapy to therapy enhanced with Adhere.ly.

The accuracy of endoscopic optical diagnosis for colorectal polyps has been approaching histological diagnosis after implementation of image enhancement endoscopic technologies. The real-time notification of possible nature of resected polyp after colonoscopy is expected to reduce the anxiety and depression level of the patients before the availability of histological diagnosis and improve their quality of life. We designed and conducted a randomized control trial to confirm this hypothesis.

This study is an interventional type three-group randomized controlled non-drug clinical trial aimed at targeting the acute pain content and anxiety level of aromatherapy arm treatment with a sesame oil and sesame lavender oil mixture performed with Simple Mastectomy (BM) / Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM). It constitutes a total of 66 patients with the power to represent the universe. However, considering the losses that may occur during the study process, it was decided that it would be appropriate to include 90 patients, 36% more than the sample. Individuals receiving arm massage with sesame oil (Group I), individuals performing arm massage with sesame-lavender oil mixture (Group II), and individuals performing arm massage with paraffin oil (Group III) constitute the research groups. After obtaining the informed written consent of the participants who agreed to participate in the study, the randomization list created from the computer-based random numbers table will be used with the block randomization method to assign an equal number of people to all three groups. In the preoperative period, patients will be given an allergic sensitivity (patch) test of the oils to be used in the study to Groups 1 and 2, massage training will be given to all groups with the show-and-have method in the pre-operative period, a massage application brochure and video will be given, and information will be given on how to fill out the follow-up forms. H1: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with sesame oil reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with paraffin oil.H2: After simple mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with paraffin oil.H3: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with sesame oil reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with paraffin oil.H4: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with paraffin oil.H5: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with sesame oil.H6: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with sesame oil.

To investigate the effect of different doses of dexmedetomidine on Cerebral Oxygen Saturation and Postoperative anxiety in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery

Observational studies and a limited numbers of RCTs have observed that habitual Mediterranean-style dietary pattern (MDP) consumption is associated with improved mental health and cognition. Yet, its efficacy in a short-term has not been studied in well-controlled intervention settings. MediMood is a cross-over RCT aiming to test whether a MDP can affect mood and anxiety following a meal (postprandial) and over 5-days in adults over 18 years with mild to moderate mental health problems relative to a Western diet (WD).

Dental anxiety considered as one of the weariest problems and disturbing problems with which the individual dentist has had to fight. Dental anxiety has been a major patient's complaint which interferes with different dental treatment. Therefore, dental anxiety may have a critical impact on the deterioration of oral health. It is a problem of many patients. Excessive dental anxiety will leads to bad oral health. It is estimated that about 36% of the world population are suffering from dental anxiety and 5- 15% of adults in developed countries suffer from severe anxiety to dental treatment. According to researchers, between 50% and 80% of adults in the United States have some degree of dental anxiety. In Saudi Arabia dental anxiety was found to be 50%. Very limited number of studies have been done in Iraq especially management of anxiety, for example in Baghdad, it was found that about 55% of study population had dental anxiety. Because of no studies have been conducted to determine the impact of dental anxiety management in Karbala city-Iraq, thus conducting such a study is timely and much needed to improve patient care. The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of behavioral management technique on patients having different levels of dental anxiety, among Iraqi adult patients seeking private dental care in Karbala city. The main question it aims to answer is: Is dental anxiety management effective in decreasing dental anxiety levels among adult Iraqi patients seeking private dental care in Karbala city? Participants will be requested to fill the self-reported questionnaire paper for anxiety levels determination & sociodemographic factors. Researchers will use non-pharmacological behavioral therapeutic techniques including combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (distraction technique) and mindfulness therapy (relaxation breathing and muscle relaxation techniques) applied as one package. the patients with anxiety will be divided in to 2 groups; one group with applying intervention and the other group without applying intervention to see if the dental anxiety therapy is effective in decreasing dental anxiety level for anxiety patient. This study hypothesized that there is a significant difference in the changes of dental anxiety level between managed patients and not managed patients (between group) and (within group) between pre and post managed patients after three months follow up assessment.

It is emphasized in the studies that the child and parent anxiety that occurs in pediatric surgery should be prevented or reduced. According to previous studies, one way to reduce child and parent anxiety in the preoperative process is to inform the child and family with preoperative family-centered activities. Teaching children anxiety coping skills with the involvement of their parents can reduce preoperative anxiety. This study was planned to evaluate the effect of visualized education and kaleidoscope distraction on children and parents' anxiety on the day of surgery in the preoperative period.

The goal of this research is to compare the benefits and risks of three anxiety treatments that are pragmatic, graduated in the level of resource intensity, and have demonstrated efficacy and feasibility for real world adoption.
